About this audiobook
From the moment he lays eyes on the Sinners' new soundboard operator, drummer Eric Sticks knows he has to make Rebekah his. Unfortunately, she's too busy trying to seduce guitarist Trey Mills to pay him much attention.
Rebekah never planned to fall for the tall, goofy drummer with the weird sense of humor and a heart the size of the galaxy. But Eric makes her laugh and his constant attention makes her feel sexy and irresistible-exactly what she needs after the things her last lover said to her. A woman who gives as much as she takes, Rebekah makes Eric feel like a total stud-exactly what he needs after surviving a decade of watching the incredibly talented members of the Sinners from the wings.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Eric’s story had an element of innocence to it, and not in the heat level, because, wow, but in thoughts, feelings, and approach to life. Rebecca and Eric have a connection that they don’t question, they just go for it. It means some things are skipped over, only to be rounded back around to, and things move fast. But that is them, and it works for them perfectly!

Honestly I thought of DNF this one just a little after I started. It went right into a big sex scene and Rebekah was worried about her problem and what they would think. It seemed superficial and weird because I was thinking she meant as in a forever kind of love and kids situation right away, but later on when I found out how she really felt about her problem it made more sense. There's TONS of sex which I was expecting after reading the others. I ended up liking the story after I found out more about who the main couple really was. I would actually have liked a little more of Eric's past included. I enjoyed the Trey and Isaac hookup. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5LOVED IT! Not much to say beyond that... so worth the wait!! I've adored Eric since book 1, and just knew he was a doll underneath all that bizarreness. Reb was just who he needed... someone just as freaky as he is (maybe more so!).
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I really enjoyed this book. It had a lot of laugh out loud moments. Some sex scenes were hot. Others not so much. I really liked Reb and Eric as a couple. She is good for him.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5These two are too cute. Love the costumes and role playing!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Another win for the Sinners! Thsi book had all the usual sexiness that we often find in Olivia Cunning's books, but for some unknown reason I found this to be one of the hottest and steamiest books so far. Actually, I think this is my favorite so far. Eric had this incredible sensibility about him that just breaks your heart and then enters Reb with this fire and will to live her life as best as she can after all that she went through and they totally complimented eachother. It was beautiful to see and experience.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5First of all, well...I just adore this series. SO much. All of those Sinners guys are just hot, all in their own way.
This book was a great addition to the series. You get the expected amazingly hot sex (and TONS of it) but you also get a sweet love story and get to watch two people find real happiness with each other.
You have Reb who is convinced she has been ruined because of her asshole ex-fiancee. (I wanted to punch him for what he did to her!)
And you have Eric who has his own issues that he is dealing with (which were addressed SO well! I loved how Reb dealt with it and how it became just a non-issue)
Reb is the girl of Eric's dreams:
"It was her. Standing right there. About shoulder high. Petite. Feminine. Blond-and-blue-haired. Both beautiful and adorable in her mismatched tube socks, a purple tank top and green mini skirt. It really was her. The woman of Eric’s wet dreams."
And Trey was the man of Reb's dreams.
Until she got to know Eric. Together they learned the meaning of true love, acceptance and how to fight for one another no matter what.
My favorite parts:
Reb's absolute non-prudeness. That girl was down for anything at any time.
Reb's acceptance of Eric's "issue" and how she never once judged him for it
The corny jokes that were a mainstay in their relationship
The bathroom scene at Thanksgiving, because Trey fixed SO much with what he did.
I am sad to see these guys all hooked up now... I have loved watching them all find love! I will miss them. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5So I have decided to revise my earlier claim when reviewing Jace's book. Eric is officially my favorite Sinner!! Wicked Beat is the story of Eric and Rebekkah. I have been looking forward to learning more about Sticks ever since Sinners started. I was most definitely not disappointed!
I love how both of these characters feel that they are broken, and no one will ever love them. Eric, for the first time, and Rebekkah, again. I didn't realize it until this book, but I love how Olivia writes strong women. Not only are they strong, but they are confident in their relationships with their strong men. These couples support each other, heal each other, sex the hell out of each other ;-) Oh yeah, the sex was off the charts in this book. Let's just say they is a certain bathroom scene towards the end that will come out of nowhere..... Whew...
I am off now to re-read the last book in the series. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Weird as he is I've always had a soft spot for Eric and I am thrilled that he found someone so perfect for him.
The book was awesome the story actually had a good progression and enough conflict to keep it interesting. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Olivia Cunning does it again! I love this series of the Sinners Rock Band. This installment deals with Eric Sticks, the fabulous and gifted drummer. Love finally finds him. Although he is a shy person, Reb brings out the best in him and they fit. With her help, he is able to overcome his "problem" . For the first time, Eric feels complete. I loved the MANY sexual antics of these two. Very creative and diverse! A must read for all Sinners' fans!
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5The cover is great, which is, unfortunately, the only good thing I can say about this book. The first in the series was excellent but this is the second time I've given the other books a DNF, so I'm done. :(
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I loved this book from its insanely spicy cover to its gushingly romantic and swoon-worthy happily ever after. This is so much more than a wildly hot rock-and-roll sex-a-thon. Wicked Beat is, at its heart, a truly great love story.Eric and Rebekah are a perfect match. Two incredibly sexy and endearingly quirky characters who find in the other their sensual soul mate, champion and best friend. The love they share is honest, strong and unconditional.And the sex? Off the charts hot! Role-playing hilarity, insatiable hungers and endless opportunities to get down and dirty abound. Satisfying erotic perfection.Wicked Beat had me smiling, misty-eyed, breathless and, ultimately, inspired. Hands down, my favorite of The Sinners on Tour Series.ARC courtesy of Sourcebooks Casablanca via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I have a new favorite Sinner! I have been not so patiently waiting for Eric's book to come out and I was honored to get an advanced copy of Wicked Beat. This book was everything I hoped it would be and more! Eric gets his HEA with a wonderful heroine, who is a great addition to the Sinners' family. Rebekah has had her fair share of heart breaks and Eric was just the guy to help put her back together. I could not get enough of this book, and would love to see a "Sinners: Where Are They Now?" book sometime in the future from Ms. Cunning. This book has the sweet romantic factor and of course in true Sinner style the heat factor is off the charts! Fans of the Sinners series will love this new addition, and newcomers will be grappling for the older books. One of my favorite things about Olivia Cunning's writing style is she always takes it a step further. This book could have easily ended about two thirds of the way through, but the last third brings closure to most, if not all of the story lines, and gives the reader more of a story than most authors offer.Ms. Cunning never closes the curtain at "Yes, I forgive you and I love you!" She always gives those extra scenes to show there is life after happily ever after, and not in a cheesy epilogue fashion either. This book is definitely being filed on my re-read shelf! For those who want more of Olivia Cunning's amazing writing make sure to check out her One Night with Sole Regret series, it is just as fabulous as the Sinners!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Rebekah finally gets the opportunity she dreams of when she gets to fill in for her brother as a soundboard operator for the Sinners. And it doesn't hurt that she has had her sights set on their guitarist, Trey. What she doesn't expect is Eric, the drummer, to interest her too. I have mixed feelings about this book. Eric gets overlooked looked at the beginning by Rebekah but she does finally come around. (Both of them had their own issues to work through.) Guess I am confused that Eric was willing to be 2nd best, if even for a moment. The steam factor is definitely there though. Overall good read.I received this book in exchange for an honest review for NetGalley.
